Student team projects have become a popular way to teach. Good teams develop an environment of effective adult learning andragogy, 1 emphasizing student self-direction in their own learning, shared experiences, near-term application and performance feedback. But coaching teams and keeping them on track is a difficult and delicate job for faculty. 2 The instructor cannot manage teams for students. Yet no one wants teams to flounder. Gantt chart software can help students manage their own teams, and, in the process, teach principles of project management and teamwork.
